Chef Zachary Hess

Hello! My name is Zach, and I've spent over 7 flavorful years immersed in the world of culinary arts. It all began with humble beginnings as a dishwasher, where I quickly discovered my passion for the magic that happens behind the kitchen doors. Through dedication, hard work, and a relentless pursuit of culinary excellence, I ascended the ranks to proudly hold the position of lead chef at the prestigious banquet department of the Inn on the Biltmore Estate.

My culinary journey has taken me on a whirlwind adventure up and down the East Coast, where I've had the privilege of working in kitchens that span the gastronomic spectrum. From quaint coastal bistros to bustling metropolitan eateries, each experience has enriched my repertoire and deepened my appreciation for diverse cuisines.

Whether it's crafting intricate dishes to delight discerning palates or orchestrating culinary symphonies for large-scale events, I thrive on the creative challenges that come with the territory. My culinary philosophy is rooted in a commitment to quality ingredients, innovative techniques, and above all, a genuine love for the craft.
